-Jessica shrugs.-

Jessica: "That is a Ground-type move."

-Fluffles bounds up with a Beast Ball in her mouth. Jessica takes it.-

Jessica: "Thanks."

-She closes her left eye, sticks out her tongue, and throws the Beast Ball at the Naganadel.-

Paula: Huh. Cool. Wasn't really planning on anything like that, but, y'know. Always cool to keep in mind.

-Beat-

Paula: Now scram, we were in the middle of a tournament. You got your crystal, have fun with it.

-You know who's around? Kai.-

Lumiose - Today

-You know who else is around? Elizabeth.-

-Sometimes the stars align and miracles happen.-

Shady House, last night

-Leaves-

Malie, tonight

Legion: <We're still not back in Kalos yet.>

Eh, it can wait. Two days before my 27th, but I've felt like I'm 27 already.

Legion: <I'm not sure if I get it...>

-There happens to be an inconspicuous Pidgey conspicuously nesting on Kai's hat.-

Nix: <Hey, there's another J-Teamer!>

Kai: Not everyone we meet on the street is gonna be part of the J-Team, Nix.

Nix: <I bet I'm right. Go talk to her, I'm willing to bet real money on this.>

Kai: Psh.

-Kai rolls her eyes, smiles, and goes up and approaches Elizabeth.-

Kai: Hey. A little bird told me you might be in the J-Team?

Nix: -chirps- <It was me, I was the little bird all along!>

Elizabeth: "Um, yeah. Barely."

-Elizabeth notes something feels...off about the supposedly plain Pidgey.-

Stormchaser

Julius: What is that device?

Jared: Hey there, tourist! Me and Julius just got back from a movie, you need anything?

Jungle Of General Japery

Enzo: <Two Flying types with one Rock move, eh? Let's do this.>

-"The beast ball goes flying through the air... and smacks Homer right in the face."-

Homer: Ahhh, what the hell dude?

Freyja, smiling: <You are just a magnet for pain today.>

-"After that, the ball bounces off Homer again and hits the Naganadel, pulling it in. There is a quick click, and the poison dragon becomes Jessica's."-

Mokuba, noticing the beast ball: -gasp- <Royal hacky sack.>

-"Mokuba starts playing socker with the beast ball."-

Nix: <Ha! Score one, Nix!>

Kai: Oh, fine, Nix, I'll admit you were right.

-She scritches Nix's neck. She poofs happily. Kai chuckles, and retuns her attention to Elizabeth-

Kai: Anyway, cool. I'm Kai.

-She offers one of her usual dazzling smiles-

Stormchaser

-Denali may receive a text.-

Guardiana

<Wolfskin?> Talbain asked. He mulled over before he paused, remembering. <Oh... uh, if that's the word you want to throw around,> he allowed. <My name's Colton, but please, if I'm in this form, please call me Talbain,> he greeted to Keaton.

Gener of Japeral Jungery

"Yo, sweet," Colt whispered.

Copper nods and starts sniffing. The other group follows him.

After a bit of walking, someone might notice a human child yawning on the back of a Liepard.

Charles, Tsubasa, and Cris get ready to go in, the formermost especially.

Stormchaser interior

Shutter, to the two staff members: Oh hey, there. My rotom and I were just checking out what appears to be a weird disturbance just outside.

Shutter turns to Rotom.

Shutter: Alright DP, it's all up to you. Think you can handle a one onerous long take?
Gimbal: <Oh, sure, leave the camera rolling. Are there any other cliches you'd like to add?>
Shutter: We'll be cutting it in post.

Shutter turns back to Jared and Julius. Gimbal floats around a nearby window.

Shutter: I think we were formally introduced earlier prior. Of course, I had been setting up at the time and may have not been speaking slowly enough. [BREATHE] Howdy. Gavin Albright. Call me Shutter. I'm actually part of the Geographic Society's documentary crew. I would like to ask a few questions, starting with how often do things like this happen?

Silas waves goodbye to the party, <It's been a pleasure.>

Denali looks at the text and responds back.

Johnathan stared and then turned to Silas.

"Superheroics."

"Arceus ye lot gunna get yerselves killed at this rate."

"Enh, we're J-Team. Nearly dying is what we do best."

Johnathan sighed as the fabricated armor parts came out of production.

"I don't see why not."

The guard opened the cell, and Daniel tossed a auric burst right at him, the guard was knocked to the floor and Daniel burst out.

"Prison break everyone!"

Whiskers ran behind everyone going last, he was after all missing a arm.

''"Okay two more Shadow Guards remain, What will you do?"

Stormchaser

Julius: Things like what?

Jared: This is the first time he's been to a movie in a theater. [INCREDIBLES 2]!

Julius: With that and the first one I understand what Neon does a bit better!

PMD-Rune

Keaton: <Hi! Do you have any treasures?>

Jungle Of General Japery

Umbra: Er, hello there.

Hazard: <Okay... so, handling this on a few levels...>

<Unless Lei's needed to help fight them right now, he's going to take off the guard's uniform and put it on, then probably carry the unconscious guard with him.>

He does whatever requisite rolls are required for this.

-to Mew- <I'm guessing you could make it look like he's a Shadow Guard like the others? Probably won't need it yet, but...>

The human sees Umbra say 'hi' and waves back, but then realizes something.

Human: <Hey, Bagheera, look!>

Liepard: <...Wait, man? Here?>

-Berry Bubble snags the Beast Ball and floats back up to Jessica.-

-Elizabeth responds with a patented Liz Fluster.-

Elizabeth: "I'm Elizabeth. Or any derivative thereof."

-Harbringer begins by drawing these symbols◊, inlaid on top one another, with a fire-coated fist.-

Kai: It's a pleasure, Elizabeth. Mind if I call you Liz?

Stormchaser Interior

Gimbal: <It's alright, Gavin. It's just some guy catching a rather large-ish pokemon right near the outside of the airship. Couldn't get too much of it, though.>
Shutter: Is it any good?
Gimbal: <Some dude gets conked in the face. It's funny.>
Shutter: Wrap it up then. We've got blooper reel fodder.

Gimbal leaves the stabilizer in Shutter's hands and moves to his smartphone. Shutter turns his attentions to his hosts.

Shutter: For a moment there I thought there was some sort of security breach outside. Anyway, I've only gotten vague hints about the sort of extradimensional activity going on in the region and the work your organization had. You know, what exactly is it that you people study in this airship?

This music plays.

Gimbal: <Sorry, I couldn't resist.>
Shutter: Leave her alone with VULPIX and this happens. But really, I'm curious at what goes on here.

Volpe's House

Tigre blinks a few time as she looks at the board with a slightly confused and bemused expression.

Tigre: Ah...

Leone, who's only just tapped back into the conversation, vocalises his sister's thoughts.

Leone: Hey! How can the vescovo hurt the king? The king is protected by his soldiers and his castle!

Leone throws up his arms before folding them in a huff.

Leone: Questo gioco non ha senso.

Tigre pokes Leone in the shoulder lightly.

Leone: Oof!

Tigre: Non essere così drammatica, Leone! I'm sure Mr Shun will explain what the... Bishop does!

She looks at Shun with big, innocent brown eyes.

Team Iron Base

Janet gives a Lucille a sympathetic smile.

Janet: Ah... Yeah... I get you. It's gotta be tough

Janet walks into the frosted over storeroom with her Herdier, before turning around and giving the colder cup to Lucille.

Janet: I... I was gonna get you a hot drink, but I remembered you don't like hot drinks. So instead I got you a mug of chocolate milk!

Janet sits down on a crate and places the mugs on a nearby, larger crate.

Janet: I... I hope you appreciate it, Lucille!

Janet looks up to Lucille with another awkward, blush tinged smile.

Stormchaser

Jared: Oh, that? We deal with the weird shit that comes through the rifts.

-thumbs to Julius-

Like him!

Julius: I am not "weird shit"!

Megavonne

-After a few minutes, there is a blip, and a knock on the door to Denali's office.-

Volpe's House - April Fool's Day

-Shun blinks at Tigre.-

Shun: Erm, right, yes. Apologies, I forget that not everyone is as well-versed in the rules and the movement of the pieces as I. I should probably start by explaining the movement of the knight, since it tends to trip up new players...

-He continues in this direction without ever addressing the initial question.-

???, Team Iron Base

-Lucille takes the cup from Janet and manages a wan smile.-

Lucille: ...Yeah. Yeah, I do. Thanks.

-Her smile fades as she looks down into the chocolate milk.-

Lucille: I... dunno how long you should be here. She... she's in control more and more these days. She's hurting people, and I only remember bits and pieces of it.

Stormchaser

Shutter: What caused these rifts and what, in general, comes out of them? I mean, the last time I heard the term, they involved monsters that you usually see in movies so fixated on destroying Celadon City. Or was it Castelia? At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if any of that stuff was real.

Volpe's House

This time, both kids watch intently

Tigre: Ooh! So the cavallo jumps over the troops!

Leone is still focusing on the bishop thing.

Leone: But how does the vescovo move!?

Leone pouts.

Lucille's Storeroom, Team Iron Base

Janet tentatively reaches out for Lucille, before finally place her hand on Lucille's bony shoulder in a gentle and understanding fashion.

Janet: Everyone needs someone to lean-on, yannow. And people deserve a little respite.

She smiles

Janet: I'll be with you until I get the feeling that she's coming back. I'm surprisingly good at detecting kooks, yannow? Musta been one of the good skills I got from being in an' out of teams.

Janet points up a finger and rummages through a small satchel bag she brought with her.

Janet: I brought some music with me if you'd like a listen! You look like you could deal with some nice conversation and good tunes~

Jangle Jupes

-Pent remains quiet and up the back of the group. He's just... Super cautious about everything right now-

Stormchaser

-Pent's here and he's just... He's generally in a funk and sorta sitting around the common areas. After a while he gets out his phone-
